Okay. So I stumbled across this guy online, a Christian, who completely wrecked my internal image of Christianity. He's some Yale theology professor (or student?) who is going around telling other Christians to "say no the Bible" and God. Like, he actually wrote a book titled "Saying No to God"... as a self-described "devout Christian."

If you're head is spinning, welcome to the club. If you don't feel like giving him your money to buy a book to find out about his ideas, I found this YouTube video that appears to give the gist of his message;

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPVq-7UWe1o

What does /lit/ think of Christians resisting their Bibles not because of cultural reaction, but because they believe its something demanded by their faith?

I find it very strange. I've never come across this perspective before. But maybe I'm just ignorant about it?

It's pretty normal to find stuff like this among mainline Protestants. In a desperate attempt to remain mainline these churches have wholeheartedly adopted the progressive program. The only kind of thought that mainline Protestants put out is centred around getting Christianity to fit in to modern progressive sensibilities. People of course notice that this doesn't work, which is why these churches are cratering faster than any other.

Of course Zoomer’s idealistic conception of Catholicism is “correct” in a platonic sense. It’s also incredibly naive to reality.

Rageposting about “Protestants” and LARPing about inquisitions is not going to fix the actual problems in catholicism. I’m totally sympathetic to a pre-Cartesian “Catholic” worldview. But this is NOT the future of the Catholic Church. The future of the Catholic Church is more globohomo nonsense, and zoomer’s immature denial of the reality of catholicism is not going to help this.

Irenaeus, Against Heresies, book 2, chapter 28

God Who created us, being most properly assured that the Scriptures are indeed perfect, since they were spoken by the Word of God and His Spirit.

John Chrysostom

Let us then in everything believe God, and contradict Him in nothing, though what is said seem to be contrary to our thoughts and senses, but let His word be of higher authority than both our reasoning and sight. Thus let us do in the mysteries also, not looking at the thing set before us, but keeping in mind His sayings. For His word cannot deceive, but our senses are easily beguiled. His word has never failed, but our senses in most things go wrong.

Augustine, Letters (to Jerome), number 28

I think it is extremely dangerous to admit that anything in the Sacred Books should be a lie…If we once admit in that supreme authority even one polite lie, there will be nothing left of those books, because, whenever anyone finds something difficult to practice or hard to believe, he will follow this most dangerous precedent and explain it as the idea or practice of a lying author.

Augustine, Reply to Faustus the Manichaean, book 2, chapter 5

We are bound to receive as true whatever the canon shows to have been said by even one prophet, or apostle, or evangelist. Otherwise, not a single page will be left for the guidance of human fallibility, if contempt for the wholesome authority of the canonical books either puts an end to that authority altogether, or involves it in hopeless confusion.

Clement of Alexandria, Exhortation to the Heathen, chapter 9:82

I could adduce ten thousand Scriptures of which not ‘one tittle shall pass away’ without being fulfilled; for the mouth of the Lord the Holy Spirit has spoken these things.

Gregory Nazianzen

We however, who extend the accuracy of the Spirit to the merest stroke and tittle, will never admit the impious assertion that even the smallest matters were dealt with haphazardly by those who have recorded them, and have thus been borne in mind down to the present day.

Justin Martyr, Dialogue with Trypho, chapter 65

But I shall not venture to suppose or to say such a things [that the Scriptures err]; and if a Scripture which appears to be of such a kind be brought forward, and if there be a pretext [for saying] that it is contrary [to some other] since I am entirely convinced that no Scripture contradicts another, I shall admit rather that I do not understand what is recorded, and shall strive to persuade those who imagine that the Scriptures are contradictory, to be rather of the same opinion as myself.

Irenaeus, Against Heresies, book 3, chapter 1

We have learned from none others the plan of our salvation, than from those through whom the Gospel has come down to us, which they did at one time proclaim in public, and, at a later period, by the will of God, handed down to us in the Scriptures, to be the ground and pillar of our faith…

This has been common belief fever since the Church Fathers. It comes to a difference between Prima Scriptura and Sola Scriptura. Primary Scriptura holds that the Bible is the primary source of divine knowledge, but Thor the only one. It allows for great reinterpretation, though outright rejection is kind of a stretch. Sola Scriptura was developed by Martin Luther and is the reason why Protestants are so retarded and why non-Christians who have only been exposed to Protestants think the Bible is so scary. Sola Scriptura, Scripture alone, posits that the Bible alone is the only place to find God, any kind of theology can be anathema if you believe this, and it’s why so many literalists come out of Protestantism.

Most of those people are probably evangelicals who are actually far closer to practicing "Sola Scriptura" in an honest way than people like in the OP. Fundamentally, people like the author in the OP are against Christianity from viewing themselves as holier than God. If one of the core innovations of Christian revelation was its concern for the victimized, modern "Progressives" denounce Christianity for its insufficient radicalism in that direction. "How can a God who preaches loving your neighbors oppose Gay Marriage?!" etc.

I hate these people, I don't want to call them leftists because they aren't they are just petty small souled (American) idiots. They must have been 14 or so when they were convinced they were the smartest kid in the world because they can disassemble "arguments" and "prove" everything "wrong". They make arguments expecting you to accept what they say not because they are right but because they are mocking you.

I hope someone smarter than me understands what I'm trying to say. These nihlists have no idea that their ugly demenor towards knowing things and the truth is the actualy corruption in this world that is destroying all that is good and beautiful. Their belief could best be explained as this face, from a dreamworks movie stomping on anyone that dared to think at all instead of just accepting whatever stupid shit they are told. They get a thrill from being wrong and making people more intelligent than them angry with their fallacies. I know this shit has been said before but this attitude kills me inside and it is so common. Do you guys know what I'm talking about? What do you call that?

Christian leftists are very odd. They are extremely militant about making mulatto empire and accepting gay people. They seem like it causes them great pain to believe this stuff (and it seems like they don't fully believe it) but by god they will become the most militant leftists when it comes to making sure people know that they don't think these things. Are modern Christians just extremely sensitive to shame compared to secular people? What the heck is going on in the churches it genuinely confuses me how people end up that way.

Christianity is highly vulnerable to proggery because of the structural similarity of the appeal to the righteous oppressed. Your empirical priors can inoculate you against much of that but you have to be way outside the Overton window to have the right priors, and there remains in Christianity in general a basic means/ends paradox to do with martyrdom and self defense and preemptive aggression and so on, power as a whole basically.

Wow that makes a lot of since actually, what do you think about the idea that all "progressive" mentality comes from the christian church, as in progressive ideology is just American Protestantism without God?

The origin of Progressivism is a much more complicated and uncertain question than noting its superficial similarity to christianity so I dont really know the answer. My historical knowledge is generally abysmal.

I would say we're looking at more than just one causal vector though, it's not simply Protestants that got out of control imo. I see what looks to me like active ethnic malice in it that cant be accounted for by religious self-flagellation for example.

>REAL Christians don’t believe in the Bible ;)
Maybe you’re a young and inexperienced in the business of cultural subversion, but what this is trying to accomplish has been done a million times in many different ways. It amounts to basically this:
>Christians follow the Bible
>this is a problem according to social engineers
>openly trying to destroy/ban Christianity always ends up having the opposite effect
>subvert it from inside is more effective
>pretend to be Christian and/or hire professional academics “who are also devout Christians wink wink” to write the propaganda points that you wish to get across instead

I understand. They are not interested in the truth or good, only snarky, sarcastic, low-effort quips aimed at distracting or belittling. It’s impossible to pin them to their beliefs because they slither away at an instance of social rejection. These cretins are generally amorphous until a likeminded congregation rolls over the lot of them and becomes massive enough to do actual harm to society. They eventually run into a rock or a hard place, explode, and scatter, waiting for the next borglike entity to pick them up.

These types venerate the “anti-hero” as a figure of subversion to what they hate and can never be, but lash out at simple zero-sum gain realities that exhibit the same principles.

But by what are they so convinced that they are right? I know the idea of the media telling them they are smart and they are so dumb that they believe them, but I think that there is a more strange and insidious psychic structure causing this attitude. They must have realized something at some point in adolescence that turned them into "a person who is smart and therefore a person who knows better than anyone with a non mainstream belief". I think they see rationalism and poor logic as a kind of subculture that they facilitate. Basically people who act this way think that doing so will get them laid (they think this subconsciously). Why else would this behavior be so aggressive?

Well, I cannot say to much about canada, but if you are in a mass college, which I assume a good number of people here are, literally go 20 minutes most outside of a college town like Amherst or Boston, and there is a firm divide. And hell, Mass is generally seen as a LIBERAL state. But again, I bet that is due to urban/rural split.

This guy may call himself a Christian, but he doesn't worship Christ, he worships niggers. He tosses out the bible because it conflicts with his nigger worship.
As in aside, it's ridiculous how many people today can't think of slavery outside of the context of negro slavery in America. People are currently slaves today in places like Libya, and slavery has existed in nearly all cultures dating back to prehistory. It's like an autistic kid who, when asked about food, can only think about McDonalds.
